Well you have to remember too that MT tested the SMG M5 too, not the manual one like C&D did.

M

1.st is audi S6 , ok they have to be kidding me here. where does the audi win here ?

Congratz to the Audi but it isnt my choice.
Erik behind the site RS6.com wasnt impressed by the S6 when he tested it.

there is a dragrace video in another thread from this issue between m5 and e63 if someone want to watch it.

you should believe yourself and not carmags, they are people with opinions like you and me. And there is no chance in the world you are going to trade your E63 for a S6 becuase it won the test. So believe in yourself

SIGHS .... IM GOING TO HAVE TO REPEAT WHAT POSTED IN THE OTHER THREAD :

You know what ?? there is a problem with testing amgs JUST ME !! They never test them in manuel mode , which is litterly shifting mode , did you all forget that in manuel mode the E63 shifts 50% quicker than in automatic ? Well thats a fact we cannot ignore , and im more than sure that C&D tested it in automatic mode ...... I showed something new to all of you guys yesterday through that video of the E63 upshifting flash , that's something no car magazine has shown yet .... The only MB model which magazines tested and showed that feature was the CLK-DTM , and incase you dont know , the DTM does not drive automatic , thus magazines observed the feature easily ..... The E63 beat the M5 and I promise you all im going to prove it sooner or later !! Im going to race it from LONG BEACH TO SANTA MONICA through downtown L.A ...... WATCH and SEE !!


Ohhh , and BTW , not only did the E63 beat the M5 , but the E55 choked it to 140 mph ...... the only thing I believe in car magazines is prices ..... I dont believe anything else , which is why you notice I never comment based on magazines ......


I HOPE EVERYONE READS THIS AND DOESNT IGNORE THE FACTS !!

OH !! ONE MORE THING CONCERNING TRACK TIMES : That as well has to do with driving the E63 in automatic mode , because holding gears arround the curves helps for better potential as you all know , and no auto switching interrupting through turns and curve processes ... And again : dont ignore these facts ... Be a reall car enthusiast !!

Sorry Ali, but this sound like fanboy talking

I was hoping you'd be honest ..

You want me to be honest?

Okey, here we go. Im just getting tired of it. You go to mbworld.org and you can read about how E63 owners beating M5 in a race, then you go to m5board.com and there you read about M5 owners how they beat a E63 in a race.
Im getting tired of it, why cant you guys just appreciate your rides and enjoy them. Winning or loosing in race buy a new car if you dont like it. There will always be someone faster than you.
I dont care what a carmag think or any other person for that matter. I buy the car for me only without thinking what others think about the car.
Enjoy your rides and be happy

If I was Ali I would be out driving my E63, listening to a good song and just enjoy the ride. Wroom Wroom!!

OK , I get where you're coming from now , but forget about what I said about me beating the M5 with my E63 , OK? NOW , im going to repeat this once again , which what my point was basically : The E63 along with 95% of the AMG models are tested in the automatic mode , ok lets leave the rest of the AMGs out of it and focus on the 63s , you should know even better than I do about the new 63s , and you know it for a fact that the MANUEL SHIFTING MODE is 50% quicker than the AUTOMATIC MODE in shifting PLUS lower gear ratios (EDMUND's even said this when the car first launched , they didnt even test it , it was based on MB's info) ..... We all know this stuff , why do we even brag about magazine tests ? And this carries on to the track capabilities , we all know how much controlling the gears in track driving helps to achieve better performance ....

AND HERE GOES : EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US HERE KNOWS FOR A FACT THAT THE E63 in this test WAS DRIVEN IN THE AUTOMATIC MODE !!!


Forget about what anybody says or brags about ...
